Kaurali :
Located at 182 kms southwest of Jaipur, it was
founded in 1348 and is best known for its Krishna Temples. The Fort,
which was constructed over different period, is about 600 years old. The
fort was the residence for the royal family until 1950 and is now
occupied by monkeys and geese. The geese were used in the early days as
warning system against any intruders. They still seem to be doing their
duty. The Bhawar Vilas Palace, which is owned by the descendents
of the royal family and resembles a large manor, is a hotel now. The
rooms are comfortable and good meals are available. Karauli is best
connected by bus or taxi from Jaipur.
